Heard of these eyebrow piercing alternatives?
Vertical (Classic) Eyebrow Piercing
First, we have the original, the classic, the vertical eyebrow piercing. This is usually done with a curved barbell, so there’s tons of jewelry options once this heals. Since all eyebrow piercings are technically surface piercings, this is one of the only surface piercings that uses a curved barbell as the standard jewelry. It’s done vertically, at any point along the eyebrow. You do need a fairly prominent brow ridge to make this anatomically possible, otherwise it will likely reject.
Horizontal Eyebrow Piercing
A striking variation on the classic, the horizontal eyebrow piercing can look really stunning when performed properly! This is, like the name says, a horizontal piercing that is usually done along the outer curve of the eyebrow. Unlike a vertical eyebrow piercing, this one is best done with a surface bar – the staple-shaped piece of jewelry used for most surface piercings. This piercing can look truly amazing so long as it’s properly placed.
Spiral Eyebrow Piercing
A less common version of the eyebrow piercing has been popping up all over the internet. This would be the spiral eyebrow! While a normal piercing usually involves two holes, a spiral eyebrow would have four to six with spiral jewelry that winds through them. It’s similar in concept to having an industrial – multiple piercings that are connected by a single piece of jewelry. This requires an experienced piercer but is an absolute showstopper when done correctly!
Anti-Eyebrow Piercing
Interested in an eyebrow piercing but don’t have the right anatomy for one? What about an anti-eyebrow? This piercing actually sits diagonally on the cheekbone, running more or less parallel to eyebrow. The anti-eyebrow is another surface piercing so care must be taken to prevent rejection
Teardrop piercing
A variation on this would be something called a teardrop piercing. Instead of a two-point surface piercing, a single dermal implant is done at the outer corner of the eye. Microdermal implants are a single-point piercing, where the body of the jewelry is implanted under the skin by the piercer, with only the top end visible above the skin. Unfortunately, dermals do have a high rate of rejection and are often considered to be long-term temporary piercings. If you do decide to go this route, keep an eye on your piercing for signs of migration or rejection
